Our family and friends thought we were nuts when we announced that we adopted our dog, but he's turned out to be a good companion and very protective of X, considering he was a stray from the shelter with no special training. We've been introducing him to our cats through "forced love" sessions, but besides this, he really doesn't add much work to our daily routine. In fact, he's part Husky and likes to pull X's sled! I vote a big YES for you getting a dog!xraevisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379269876085160558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-11714385617027037002010-01-10T07:15:48.392-08:002010-01-10T07:15:48.392-08:00I take care of a one special needs child, one neur...I take care of a one special needs child, one neurotypical child, one husband and one dog. The easiest of the three to care for? Hands down, it's the DOG! He's not a therapy or seizure dog, but he's MY therapy! Even dealing with the poop isn't so bad once they're house-trained. <br /><br />While Seamus has had no special training, he still seems to know that he can't play rough with Emmett and Violet. He's very protective of both children as well. And seizure dogs are amazing! They can detect that a seizure is coming and alert you to that. I think dog could be wonderful companion/friend for Connor, aside from helping you detect his seizures.<br /><br />Can you tell that I'm very excited that you might get a dog?!Julia O'Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16330856629856439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-87173148087247060322010-01-10T07:10:50.010-08:002010-01-10T07:10:50.010-08:00Here's a site to explore:

I think it's an AWESOME idea. Of course, I don't have to feed it, walk it, clean up the poop! lol<br /><br />On the monitor issue, you should be able to change the channel on the room monitor so you don't get the interference. We had that issue in one house we lived in many years ago. Unfortunately, what we were able to pick up was our neighbor's cordless phone. They were in the middle of a very ugly separation/divorce with allegations of infidelity. To say we got an earful would be an understatement!Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.com
